Seat progress

We are a little further along with the seats now. With May fast approaching and our work load at the shop increasing we are wondering if the first week of May will be doable. Dad has mentioned that no matter what the car is done by Memorial Day. If anything, it gives my brother Troy who is moving back to Mazomanie from Boston a chance to help finish up the Edsel.

And as promised, pictures of the very unique shifter Dad's Uncle had designed and installed in the Edsel way back in the day. Very functional and still in working condition. I think it will be cleaned up and installed with the only change a chrome handle and cleaner knob on top. If you look closely in the second picture you can see he put a neutral safety switch and made the handle and assembly grease able.
